Upcoming Events at North Campus


We are located on Treaty 6 territory, traditional lands of the First Nations and Métis people. We recognize the unique and enduring relationship that exists between Indigenous peoples and their traditional lands not only in Edmonton but also across Canada. Let this acknowledgement serve as a reminder of our ongoing efforts to recognize, honor, reconcile and partner with the Indigenous Peoples of Canada.
